High-Purity Lithium Metal Ingots
High-purity lithium metal ingots (99.9% purity) used primarily in battery manufacturing and chemical research. Classified under HTS 2805.19.90.10 as elemental lithium, an alkali metal in unwrought form. These ingots are produced by electrolysis and stored under oil to prevent oxidation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in granular or powder form
Lithium in granular or powder form falls under specific subheading 2805.12, distinct from other forms like ingots.
If chemically doped for electronics
Doped lithium for semiconductor use may classify as chemical preparations under 3824 per Chapter 28 notes.
If imported as lithium-ion battery components
Assembled battery-grade lithium shifts to Chapter 85 as electric accumulators, not pure metal.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certificates of analysis confirming 99%+ purity and elemental form to avoid reclassification as alloys
• Ensure transportation under inert atmosphere or mineral oil; comply with UN 1415 hazardous material regulations
• Verify supplier's REACH/SVHC compliance for lithium due to environmental restrictions in supply chains
